Ah, how long it’d been since his presence was last met with anything but fear, indifference, or mockery... An honor to meet them, indeed. Though there was... one thing they said that grabbed his attention in particular. It stood out from the rest like blood scattered over fresh white snow.

Heretics.

What he'd faced in his time here - in Anura - had been nothing more than beasts, feral and screaming and bloodthirsty, yet The Lamb considered them heretics. Dark Choco took a sip from the soup he’d been given as he contemplated this. What could it be that they were doing wrong? What holy rule were they working against by hunting and being hunted? He could only assume that it was their nature...

With the warm taste of vegetables and broth still lingering in his mouth, he 'hmm'ed his acknowledgement.

"Your efforts are more than respectable. I come from a land with beasts large and concerned with little more than their next meal, but even they find time to rest and play. What I see here has been aggressive to the point of recklessness."

A pause. His head lifted slightly, peering out into the dark swamps as if he expected his words to bring danger charging into their little safe space. Skill would not matter in the face of surprise. Dark Choco continued on as nothing happened.

"Regardless, I can survive on my own..." He finally turned his gaze back towards them, expression terribly indifferent. "But I also know better than to continue that way- not if I have the choice. I accept your help."

Dark Choco was well aware that he didn't need to narrate the thought process aloud to them... Yet he found that doing so made it easier to justify in his head, too. Not to mention that it was an easy way to communication that he wasn't about to run off on The Lamb.

He did find himself with one more question, however.

"...Do you yourself wander? Are you going somewhere?"

It was only natural to wonder, seeing as they were to travel together, but he also found that he was genuinely curious about The Lamb. To wander about lands like these alone - not to mention with resources to spare - spoke of a hardiness that rivaled the warriors from his snow-drenched homeland.

Surely they had somewhere to be...
